Write a commentThe following is a statement from Port of Oswego Authority Executive Director - CEO William W. Scriber:
The construction and plans for our new grain storage building have been public for more than a year and the Port of Oswego Authority has been entirely transparent in sharing its plans.
The state DOT announced this project more than a year ago, and the Mayor of Oswego was briefed on the project in February 2019. In a November 2019 press release from the state on the port’s expansion project, the mayor was quoted: ”I’m thrilled to see Governor Cuomo and the State of New York place such a focus and make a sizeable investment in the Port of Oswego. The Port of Oswego is a major economic driver to the Oswego community and this investment will ensure continued growth and expansion in the future.”
As a state authority we went through all legal channels and posted information on this and other projects on our website and our social media in advance.
This storage unit has to hold 14,000 metric tons of product and be accessible to be loaded from a ship.
The Port of Oswego Authority is committed to the economic betterment of Oswego, Oswego County and the region. We recently announced studies and plans that are proceeding on a performing arts center, and we’re working cooperatively with the H. Lee White museum to build a beautiful, new museum.
Oswego is the Port City. The city is here because the Port was here. Our success is the city’s success and the region’s success.
